Crazy Man in Paris (rp for Lorna and Alex)

[semihero_pietro]

Feeling like he was getting nowhere with trying to convince his father to help him take down Jean and Stark, Pietro decided to take matters into his own hands.

He made his way to Paris, knowing that Jean would be there with her little X-Corp pet project she was heading in order to disguise her plans to blow up everything that mattered in the world like his sister and Mystique.

However, he didn't have a plan. He needed one. So he needed to find the weakness of the X-Corp building and figure out how to take the thing down.

Even in his crazed state, Pietro was well aware that he was no match for Jean Grey. He wouldn't be able to get within a hundres feet of the psychic before she would be able to tap into his brain patterns and alter them so he would think he was a bunny or a ballerina.

To protect himself, he did the only thing that came to his mind. He bought a black ski cap, and lined the inside of it with a triple layer of alluminum foil. He hoped it would work like his father's helmet to keep her traitorous thoughts out of his head.

He would be doing the world a service by getting rid of her. Or, at least getting rid of her until she came back from the dead. She had a bad habit of doing that. Maybe if she just stayed dead, his sister would still be alive.

So he was in Paris now, staying in the shadows of the alleyways, looking at the X-Corp building and trying to figure out where the weaknesses in the building design would be. And all the time he sipped a bottle of JOLT.

He hadn't slept in a week now. Which wasn't helping his mental state much.


still crazy and getting worse by the day...

Lorna was really beginning to lose her mind. Everyone around her had already lost theirs so why not? She had all but given up trying to talk to Jean or Scott. Jean was on a rampage and Scott was hiding. Alex was mad at her. Wanda was posting public notices about wanting to blow her up. It hadn't been the best morning.

She had to at least get out of this room, this building. It was stifling her. She tentatively asked Alex to come on a walk with her - getting away from all this stuff would help him, too - and he begrudgingly agreed. Well, that was something.

Lorna walked outside the X-Corp building and instantly felt a bit better. It was warm, the sun was shining and she was in Paris for heaven's sake! She brushed a hand through her hair absently and watched the passersby. Out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a skulking figure that looked vaguely familiar. There was something in the way the man carried himself...he was jittery and space seemed to be blurring a bit around him...

All of a sudden she knew who he was. She ran across the street, ignoring the cars beeping as she passed, instinctively jumping a bit into the air to avoid being hit. "Pietro!" She stopped short beside her brother and threw her arms around him. "I can't tell you how happy I am to see you! Where have you been?"
